Wolf's Rain (2003) s01e20 Episode Script
Consciously
Kiba! Who's there? Kiba! Kiba! Kiba! Who's there? Where are you? Where are you? Who is it? I don't know! What you'll find beyond those rocks is a land called the Desert's Bones.
Desert's Bones? If your friend went in there, looking for him won't do any good.
Why not stay and live with us? We can't do that.
You see, he's the one who was looking for Paradise.
See you around.
Let's go.
I'm not going.
I I want to stay here! You're staying here? Does that mean you're leaving us? Yeah.
This place staying with Iyek and his people, that seems like Paradise to me.
Really.
Are you sure that's what you want? If that's what you've decided, Toboe, it's okay by me.
Hey! Take care of yourself.
He's always wanted to be with humans.
Tsume? He likes humans.
Yeah, I got that impression.
Didn't you say you'd given up on Paradise, too? It's fine with me if you don't come along.
You'll even go by yourself if you have to, Tsume? I want to see for myself.
If they say wolves will bring the world to an end, I want to see it.
Besides, I can't give up now, not after meeting that jerk.
So I'm gonna look for him.
You're starting to remind me of somebody.
Of him.
What's the matter, Kiba? I can't remember.
I've been hearing all these different voices But I can't remember who they belong to.
And I can't put faces to the voices.
You'll forget, little by little.
But you'll get used to it.
Yes, little by little.
And little by little still And then, little by little Don't worry.
I'll always be with you.
Sure.
Where you are, who you are Whether you're alive or dead There is nothing, nothing matters All the answers lie beneath the sand Toboe.
Toboe.
That's a good boy, Toboe.
Let's eat, all right? Now, now, stop that! Stop that! Toboe I can't breathe Please, get off Are you sure? Oh, it's you.
Are you sure about not going to Paradise? I haven't got what it takes.
Does anyone have what it takes? It's no wonder that everyone thinks I'm a sniveling coward.
I'm positive that Kiba will be all right, and I don't need to worry about Tsume and Hige, either.
I can tell.
I can also tell that I'm just in everybody's way.
I want to stay here.
Wow, there really isn't anything here.
That's it there? It's them! Oh, no! Do you sense something? There's something off in the direction Tsume and Hige went! Something bad is coming! It might be them.
The people who attacked our dogs? And attacked us, too.
The way they're coming at us, it's almost as if they can spot a wolf's location! Which means that running or hiding won't do any good.
Kiba! Stay back! Move away from there! That poisonous plant is paralyzing him.
What? He can't be! He's not dead yet! Anyway, if we don't pull him out of there, he's gonna Let's have the Elder take a look.
I'm sure he can call his spirit back.
Let's hurry! Stop What's wrong, Mew? It looks like someone has found you.
What do you mean? I wanted us to be together forever.
But you shouldn't stay.
You're right.
This place isn't Paradise.
This is a world where time has stood still.
Eventually, you will forget why you're here.
I can't remember anymore, either.
What are you saying? You have to go.
Come with me.
Mew You and I really are different.
Mew! Goodbye.
Goodbye, Kiba.
Kiba Kiba Do you know who this one is? Kiba, remember! Cheza.
Kiba! Do you know who we are? Kiba Kiba! Long time no see, you guys Aw, gimme a break! Where have you been all this time?! Someplace nice It was almost like Paradise But it wasn't, was it? No I got thrown out.
Do not worry.
He has returned to you.
Let's leave as soon as Kiba's back on his feet.
What do you wanna do, runt? There's not much chance that you'll go through your whole life without fighting.
This isn't an easy road to go down.
I know all that You okay now? Yeah.
I overslept.
I feel like I'd been dreaming a long, long time.
A strange wonderful dream.
What you saw was the Garden of Eternity.
Garden of Eternity? You experienced tranquility and bliss you've never known before, yes? Yeah For most people, that is enough to satisfy them.
And for them, it all ends there.
But you came back.
You returned to this world.
There's a place that I have to go.
Why are you trying to find Paradise? To survive.
I see.
What happened in there? Nothing.
Except I met a nice girl.
Wha? A girl? You? That explains why it seems like you've loosened up some.
Huh? What do you mean? You wouldn't understand.
Man, I wish I'd gone there, too Why wouldn't I understand? The whole time, it felt like there was something I was forgetting.
Cheza? Not just her.
I mean you guys.
I thought you were dead.
Are you kidding me? Do you have any idea how hard we looked for you?! Oh, you did? Sorry.
That scatterbrain of yours is never gonna change, is it? Let's go.
I I I won't whine anymore.
And I won't run away.
Wanna bet? No.
Ready to go? I guess we have to move on.
Sure.
Is Paradise far? I don't know.
But I'm sure we can reach it.
Are you sure we should try to get to Paradise? The spirits are with you.
See you.
Sure.
Let's go.
See you around.
Well, I'm off.
You've got what it takes to get to Paradise, and then some.
Thanks.
Iyek I have a favor to ask.
He has my scent on him, so you should be able to find him.
Aw, shut up No matter where I go, it's the same damn snow Death will come for me soon enough When he does, I'll see Ruus again.
Who are you? You gulped down my restorative potion To me, it was the water of life I feel like myself again I was asked to rescue you.
Asked to rescue me? Yes.
By a wolf.
As if that would ever happen.
You don't believe in wolves? I believe in 'em, all right.
I believe that they're vicious demons.
Here's some food.
I was asked to help you, so I will keep my promise regardless of what kind of man you are.
Why the hell are they trying to show me pity at this point? Gimme a break Next Time Next Time Every last one of 'em is going soft over women.
Every last one of 'em is going soft over women.
Men have their own world.
A world covered in blood, grease, and gunpowder that reeks of sweat.
